Multiporator Electroporation System - Fair Condition

The Eppendorf Multiporator: a solution for electroporation and cell fusion

The Eppendorf Multiporator has been specifically designed to meet the needs of research laboratories in the field of electroporation and cell fusion. This high-performance device ensures controlled and reproducible electroporation of eukaryotic cells thanks to fine control of the discharge curve, guaranteeing temporary opening of the plasma membrane and optimal absorption of biomolecules. This precision helps preserve cell integrity and viability, a major advantage for researchers seeking reliable and reproducible results.

This modular system can be supplemented with optional modules for the electroporation of bacteria and yeast as well as cell fusion. These additional features offer unique flexibility for a wide range of applications, from gene transfer to cell hybridisation. The Multiporator is thus capable of generating electrical pulses tailored to the specific needs of each cell type, whether exponential decay pulses for eukaryotes or square wave signals for cell fusion.

With an intuitive control panel and clear display screen, the Multiporator simplifies parameter selection and ensures rigorous control of experimental processes. The system supports sterile electroporation cuvettes of various sizes, allowing adaptation to different sample volumes and types. In addition, specialised fusion chambers such as the Helix fusion chamber or the microfusion chamber offer several possibilities for the production of hybrid cells under microscopic control.

With its compact design (25.2 cm wide, 34.2 cm deep and 12.0 cm high) and a maximum weight of 5.5 kg, the device fits easily into any laboratory environment. It operates on a universal power supply (100–240 V, 50–60 Hz) and has comprehensive safety features to protect the user and ensure reliable experiments.

The Eppendorf Multiporator stands out for its ability to maintain the defined parameters with precision, an essential feature for research applications where reproducibility is paramount. Compatible accessories and specially formulated electroporation and fusion buffers from Eppendorf complete this system to offer an all-in-one solution for demanding researchers.
